Local Development Plan
On the 12th May 2005, the Council adopted its Unitary Development Plan (UDP). However, a change in Government legislation means that the Council now has to begin work on the preparation of a Local Development Plan (LDP) for the area. Once adopted, the LDP will supersede the UDP.
The Plan sets out the land-use planning policies of the County Borough which are used in the determination of planning applications. These policies include land-use allocations for different types of development (i.e. housing, employment, retailing, education, open space etc.) as well as criteria for assessing individual proposals. Potentially the Plan has a direct effect on the lives of every resident of the County Borough as well as major implications for landowners.
The LDP, whilst having the same purpose as the UDP, will guide development in the County Borough up to 2021, and will be reviewed periodically. Welsh Government guidance makes the process of preparation of LDPs much shorter than UDPs and requires Local Authorities to adopt the Plan within four years.
Should you wish to be added to the consultation database, and be formally notified at every stage of the LDP preparation process, please send your details to the Development Planning Section. Please indicate your communication preferences (i.e. by letter or by email).
